<p>laplast but wasnt the bottom triangle also a 45 45 90 because the other one was. so a 45 angle matched up with another 45 angle from the bottom triangle</p>

<p>can someone explain the choclates question… in detail… people r saying it was 0 but im like 95 percent positive it was 20… help?</p>

<p>yes aznobliteration, it was 45 45 90, but the sqrt(2) was opposite a 45 degree rather than a 90 degree. the side across from the largest angle has the largest length, and in the case of a right triangle, that’s what you call the hypotenuse.</p>

<p>1 zero</p>

<p>it was 0 for choc</p>

<p>It said 20% of the 100 were wrapped then it said 70% of the 100 were wrapped</p>

<p>so to have atleast 1 chocolate wrapped they would have to say 31% are wrapped</p>

<p>Ronakmp: 70% were chocolates and 20% were wrapped. The 20% wrapped could have included the 30% that were non-chocolate candies. Thus, the least number of wrapped chocolates was 0.</p>

<p>ronakmp it said 20% were wrapped, meaning 80% were unwrapped. 70% were chocolate and since 70<80 there is the possibility that all chocolates were unwrapped</p>

<p>i do not remember at ALL a question on entrees and food that = 10. if i skipped that i swear to god im gonna shoot myself -____-</p>

<p>I don’t remember having it either altty</p>

<p>If 20% were wrapped and 70% chocolate… it doesn’t mean those are of the same 100%. So 20% of the 100 could be wrapped AND chocolate. No? Or was there something that indicated otherwise?</p>

<p>I’ve asked this before but it became lost in other conversation… </p>

<p>What did those of you put for the question for the number of possible solutions for this equation:</p>

<p>sqrt(x) + 3 = a - 7 ?</p>

<p>Was it 0, 1, or 2? This was a roman numeral question.</p>

<p>Aerienne: They were asking for the least number of chocolate wrapped candies that could satisfy the conditions stated in the prompt. Therefore it was zero. If they asked for the most, then 20% would be correct.</p>

<p>does anyone know the question with O being the midpoint of 3 line segments and the three non-overlapping triangles?
and the angle UOT or something like that?
i said 60</p>

<p>Lemonio I’ve been trying to get an answer for that all day… I tried to draw out the diagram but for some reason i get messing up my line segments, so I just said 60…</p>

<p>does anyone know whether the absolute value graph question was experimental or part of the test?</p>

<p>yes civomorth, again :P</p>

<p>Lemonio and Unholy Sigma, are you sure that’s not an experimental question? I don’t remember that question. XD</p>

<p>ims till not positive on the choclates one… does anyone rember the actual question close to the question?</p>

<p>The chocolate question is 0. Period, end of story. Just accept it and move on with your life.</p>

<p>Chocolate:
A bag has 100 candies. 20% of the candies are wrapped. 70% of the candies are chocolate. What is the minimum number of wrapped chocolates?</p>

<p>The answer would be 0, because 20 candies could be wrapped and 70 separate candies could be chocolate.</p>

<p>I MADE A DRAWING OF THE QUESTION WITH THE DISTANCE TO LINE P. IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, THIS IS HOW IT WAS, PRETTY SURE AT LEAST.</p>
